Who Am I and Where I come from?

My name is Maniska, Born and raised in North Africa, genetically North African with Italian roots, people always ask me:

“Why are you white if you are genetically North African?”

When someone asks, I always have to explain the history part briefly:
“Mediterranean people share the same roots, due to the Roman empire, Berber indigenous North African, Egyptian, and Greek civilizations, who traveled and traded through the Mediterranean sea.”
Very general but explainable.

My Personality?
I am sociable, and I enjoy connecting with people from different cultures to gain a deeper understanding of them as human beings.

People I meet mostly say I am very friendly, full of positive energy, easy to get along with, and inspiring.

Why Am I Here?
I have always loved writing and reading; being here is like being in the same room as people around the world, sharing thoughts, cultures, opinions, and ideas.

I always had a myriad of ideas to share, so I considered starting a podcast to discuss my experiences…
